Motional energy follows packet index times spacing. Exact arithmetic here means exact results for the stated model inputs; measured inputs still carry uncertainty and significant-figure limits.

Motional energy is packet index times spacing

The mode spacing stays fixed. The source packet index sets the displayed motional energy.

Each packet row follows the same spacing source

The scan varies only the packet index. The motional energy follows the same displayed spacing in every source row.
